We can't wait to welcome Guardians of the Jukebox to Downtown Calhoun for our 14th annual BBQ & Boogie Festival!

Get those dancing shoes ready & mark your calendars for a kick-off concert not to miss! 🎸🎤💃🕺

🚨🎤 CALHOUN…ARE YOU READY TO TIME TRAVEL?! 🎤🚨

We told you Year 14 of BBQ and Boogie was going to be the biggest and baddest yet, and we weren’t kidding. We’re dialing this thing straight up to 11.

We’re pulling every string we’ve got to bring you:
🔥 The best vendors
🔥 The best pitmasters
🔥 The coldest drinks
🔥 AND the most bodacious music lineup this side of 1985

So tease that hair, dust off those dancing shoes, and strap on your crash helmets…

Because we are BLASTING OFF Friday night in Downtown Calhoun with the greatest 80’s tribute band in the galaxy — Guardians of the Jukebox! 🚀

We’re talking full-on 80’s overload.
Synths.
Anthems.
Sing-at-the-top-of-your-lungs choruses.
The kind of night where everybody knows the words and nobody sits still.

This isn’t just a concert.
It’s a musical time machine.

Jump in the DeLorean and head back to one of the greatest decades ever as Guardians of the Jukebox brings the soundtrack of the 80’s and the energy of a stadium tour. These guys have been shutting down cities and packing out streets everywhere they go.

📅 Friday, April 24th
🕕 Festival kicks off at 6 PM
🎶 Concert starts at 7 PM
🪑 Chair setup to claim your spot starts at NOON

Downtown Calhoun is going full neon, full volume, and full 80’s.

So call your friends, bring your crew, and get ready for a night of BBQ, Boogie, and big hair energy.

April can’t get here fast enough.
We’ll see you at BBQ & Boogie! 🎶🔥
